    It's a step up from Wade but might not be a step up overall. CEJ's defense troubles me, but he does have a high work rate, he's going to need it.

    It's a good fight for GGG I think as it will obviously raise his profile in the UK and he will be getting a career high payday.

    I think it's a slight step up. Eubank will bring it.

    160 is ish and already cleaned out by GGG
    Saunders dont want it
    Jacobs wants 4 million for his soon to be shattered glass chin
    Canelo is a 154 pounder that weights 180 on fight night

    Pretty much.

    And I would say Eubank Jr on a similar level to most of Golovkin's opponents.

    Too good for 160, but possibly not for 154, 168, 175 :deal

    Eubank Jr is going to get knocked out but not because he doesn't have the skills but because he has shown fear. By not signing the contract sooner (if he does at all) he has shown fear and that is the biggest weakness for a fighter. Eubank Jr. has been exposed.

    Looks like GGG's team is running out of patience. Johnson's phone is probably already ringing off the hook. (K2 gonna have to break him off a huge payday tho after hearing about the 6 milli they were gonna give CEJ)

    Especially in the current boxing scene where you can become a world titlist with a win over John Thompson.

    I think he is just trying to build an audience in the UK to force a BJS fight. It is the only belt he needs to achieve his dream of unifying. Sometimes you need to get down and dirty.
